Chapter 81
He was really afraid of being beaten, and the man gave all the explanations. The onlookers believed it at first, but now he heard that he had actually made a fake frame-up, and he was immediately ashamed.
"Bad embryo!"
"shameless!"
Some people were so angry that they grabbed the vegetable leaves and stones at their hands and threw them at him, destroying the reputation of an unmarried girl. If this is placed on another girl, it is equivalent to forcing the other party to die.
Although the people of Da Chu are open, if a matter of private life is spread, it will still be shameful, especially when a wealthy family has a reputation. Therefore, they hurriedly marry the lady at home or send her to Guanli to be a sister-in-law, and even if there is no such person at home.
Fortunately, Fu Tian reacted quickly enough and exposed the person on the spot. Otherwise, when the news spread, he would not know what it would be like.
"Send someone to the government." Fu Tian said: "This person maliciously slandered the reputation of the Fu family, and his heart would be punished!"
He asked Yang Dashi to send the person to the government office, and then whispered to the point where others didn't pay attention, "It's probably what Wen Zeming did. You and the officers and soldiers should find the person out as soon as possible."
Yang Dashi nodded and carried the man with bloody hula as if he was carrying a chicken and went to the government.
Fu Tian bowed to the surroundings, threw the whip back into the groom's hand, "Go back to home."
The onlookers separated consciously, and the stagnant carriage slowly walked up again.
In the carriage behind Fu Tian, Fu Shuyue's clenched fingers loosened a little. Fu Youqin frowned and took her daughter into her arms and patted her gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Several carriages stopped in front of Fu's house one after another. Fu Tian immediately went to the carriage behind and looked at Fu Shuyue worriedly, "Sister?"
Fu Shuyue smiled faintly at him, "I'm fine, thanks to you today."
Fu Tian gently shook her hand and ordered her personal maid to take her back to rest. The next few carriages followed the people of the branch tribe. Fu Youqin had to greet the female family members, but she couldn't leave for the time being, so she could only comfort her a few words and asked her to go back to rest first.
After adjusting his expression, the two of them welcomed the tribe members from the side branch in.
After a farce just now, the people on the sidelines had different thoughts, but I thought that when they encountered such a thing, the Fu family must be in a bad mood, and everyone was tactful and didn't say anything.
The banquet was prepared long ago. After a busy day, everyone got into the table after a little rest. Fu Tian and the heads of each family were at the same table, while Fu Youqin was entertained by the women.
During the meal, he was drinking, and when he was not good enough, he showed drunkenness. A middle-aged man sitting next to Fu Tian was already drunk red on his cheek. He patted Fu Tian's shoulder like an elder, and said earnestly: "Youling, now you are the leader, so the fourth uncle said it straight. Shuyue is not young anymore, so it's time to find someone else's house."
He obviously complained about what happened just now, "I heard that I had retired from the Jiao family and now I have had this incident again. Although someone did it intentionally, it is not good for the Fu family..."
"Since you are the head of the Fu family, you should take care of the reputation of the Fu family and not act rashly!"
"Oh?" Fu Tian looked slightly, the smile on his face became cold, and the wine glass in his hand made a dull sound on the table, "How can I take care of the reputation of the Fu family?"
The other people on the table froze, and they obviously noticed that Fu Tian was unhappy. Someone gave Fu Zhengde a wink, but the drunk people didn't notice it at all.
Fu Zhengde and Fu Youqin are the same generation. Their great-grandfathers are brothers. After each got married, Fu Youqin's great-grandfather inherited the family business. Fu Zhengde's great-grandfather went to Qingyang to do business. Later, he took root in Qingyang and only came back during the New Year's Day worship. When it comes to Fu Youqin, he had to call him a cousin.
According to the side branches, the best life should be Fu Zhengde's branch, so he speaks more without any scruples.
Especially after drinking, Fu Zhengde was even more unscrupulous, "There is a young man who has not yet been married. I asked your fourth aunt to join in. For my sake, they would never mind the reputation."
Fu Tian was almost angry and laughed at him, but the more angry he was, the calmer his expression on his face was. "I appreciate the kindness of the fourth uncle, but my sister is well-versed in poetry and calligraphy etiquette and has outstanding talent. I am afraid that it is not worthy of any one of the corners."
Fu Zhengde's face froze, "You're too arrogant."
Fu Tian stood up and looked cold, "Fu's family has a great career, so what if he is arrogant? My sister's marriage is not a problem."
Fu Zhengde choked by him, but he wanted to say something but stopped the people next to him. The others came out to smooth things over and changed the topic before revealing the matter.
Without the mood to deal with these people again, Fu Tian found an excuse to leave the table and asked Wen Ji to come and greet the guests.
The people left the next day and did not show up.
Although it is said that the young master is unable to drink, everyone's hearts are clear. It must be that what happened last night had offended the new head of the family, and they were reluctant to do even superficial skills.
After one night, Fu Zhengde woke up from drinking, but he was very keen on his own. If the Fu family in Sifang Town were not the main meridian, he would not want to pay attention to a child like Fu Tian who was still fucked.
"Let's go, no wonder the main vein can only live in this small Sifang Town over the years. There is really no successor..."
The others shook their heads, ignored him, and got on the carriage and left.
Fu Tian, who was "unbearable to drink", went to Fu Shuyue's yard with a sloppy pace.
The mother and son obviously have the same thoughts. Fu Youqin was also in Fu Shuyue's yard early in the morning, and the mother and daughter were cooking tea and chatting in the pavilion in the garden.
Seeing that Fu Tian was coming, Fu Shuyue poured him a cup of hot tea to warm his hands.
Seeing that her expression was not depressed, Fu Tian simply did not mention what happened yesterday, so he sat down and had tea together.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Fu Youqin carefully mentioned the marriage. "A few days ago, many matchmakers came to propose marriages. I chose them and left a few pretty good ones. Do you see if there are any one that suits you?"
"If you don't have a good relationship, don't be in a hurry, and watch it slowly." Fearing that his daughter misunderstood, Fu Youqin quickly added another sentence.
Fu Shuyue paused when making tea, but did not answer the famous posts, and said softly: "Mom, I want to wait..."
Seeing that she didn't even answer the famous post, Fu Youqin sighed, but she didn't force her.
After the winter solstice, the weather becomes colder and closer to the New Year.
Yang Dashi and the people from the government office found Wen Zeming who was hidden in two days. It is said that the person was found in a cave on the west mountaintop.
He also found a bag of gold, silver and soft soft materials with him. I don’t know what he thought, but he took the money and didn’t leave Sifang Town. He actually touched the west mountain and hid it quietly.
Fu Tian always felt that he had another purpose to stay, so he rarely took time to visit him in the prison. Wen Zeming was a major murderer and was locked in the innermost cell. The light was dim and there was a faint smell of odor.
He hurried in the corner of the prison, and when he saw Fu Tian, he rushed up like crazy, cursing viciously.
Fu Tian looked at him through a fence, with no emotion in his eyes, "Your sentence has been settled, it's the day after tomorrow."
The murder was paid for his life, but Wen Zeming and his mother were sentenced to death and the execution time was at noon the day after tomorrow.
Wen Zeming was stunned by a word. He knelt on the ground in a sluggish manner, muttering, "It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this..."
Fu Tian was shocked and looked at him with a cold look, "What are you talking about?"
Wen Zeming was crazy and stretched out his hand from the gap in the fence to grab him. The iron chains on his body made a harsh sound, "The Wen family is mine, you should have died long ago! You are a monster... You are a monster... I want to tell them, let them burn you to death! The Wen family is me haha..."
"You're crazy." Fu Tian suppressed the shock in his heart and said expressionlessly.
The jailer was obviously used to it and explained to him carefully: "It's been like this since he came in, always talking crazy words."
Fu Tian tightened his jaw, and a thin layer of sweat had appeared in the palm of his palm hidden in his sleeves. He nodded coldly and turned around and left calmly.
Behind him, the prison guard whipped two whips without hesitation, and Wen Zeming retreated into the corner in pain. Thinking of the beautiful dream he had in the cave, he couldn't help but smile in a daze again...
After calmly getting on the carriage, Fu Tian couldn't control his slightly trembling hands.
How could Wen Zeming know about the past life?... He took two deep breaths to calm himself down. Fu Tian thought that the day after tomorrow would be the day after tomorrow, and his nervous heart finally comforted him a little.
The sudden fright made his hands and feet cold. After returning to the house and drinking a pot of hot tea, he could barely warm up. Wrap himself in a thick cloak, he suddenly felt desperately missing Chu Xiangtianlai.
But he didn't know that Chu Xiangtian's situation in Qingyang Palace was not better than him at this moment.
After the ancestor worship ceremony, he wanted to prepare his things as soon as possible and rushed back to Sifang Town, but after the aristocratic families in the capital learned that he had returned, various prayers were endless. He was too lazy to deal with these people, so he simply closed the door and hid in the palace.
But the palace was not at ease. Seeing that the youngest son was almost thirty in two years, he didn't even have a caring person to warm up the bed. The empress dowager was so worried that she summoned some ladies and ladies to the palace every few days, trying to tell Chu Xiangtian a marriage.
When the ladies and ladies all parted, Chu Xiangtiancai came back from outside and sat down in front of the empress dowager in a proper manner.
The Queen Mother had a good temper, but she was angry when she saw him looking at him without any concern. "You are planning to make me die and not be able to see you?"
Chu Xiangtian suddenly had a toothache, but he didn't dare to take it back, so he could only explain again: "I have someone I like."
"Then tell me which lady it is," the Queen Mother didn't believe it at all, "Don't use this to perfunctory me again."
It’s not that the Queen Mother doesn’t want to believe him. It’s because Chu Xiangtian has used this set of rhetoric too many times over the years, without any credibility.
Chu Xiangtian's head buzzed, and he had to honestly explain, "It's not a lady from any family, but the son of the Fu family, named Fu Tian."
The empress dowager who was about to pretend to cry was stunned, "Which Fu family?" Then she reacted again and said in surprise: "Is it a man?"
Since he said that, Chu Xiangtian did not hide it anymore, so he simply opened the skylight and said, "It's the Fu family in Nanming County. I'm going to propose marriage before the New Year. It's best to set the wedding date. I was going to coax the person back first and tell you."
His marriage is not a trivial matter. The prince who holds military power and the emperor's younger brother are staring at him. All families are watching him. He doesn't want to make trouble. He originally wanted to wait until the marriage is settled before announcing the news, but even the empress dowager and the emperor were hiding it. This is really forced by the empress dowager, so he cannot tell the truth.
The empress dowager looked at him in a daze. She didn't pretend this time, but her eyes were really red. "If you are worried about provoking suspicion, you can find a civilian woman, why bother..." Why find a man?
Although the Queen Mother did not interfere in the court affairs, she also knew that since her eldest son ascended the throne, many voices have suggested that he take back his military power.
Both were born in the legitimate state, Chu Xiangtian still had half of the military power of the Great Chu, so it was difficult not to attract suspicion.
The same is most likely true for Chu Xiangtian who had never wanted to get married before. If the prince gets married, the woman's family background will definitely be quite good. Once she is provoked by someone who is interested, it is likely to be another tragedy of brothers' conflicts.
"It's not because of the emperor's brother," Chu Xiangtian explained seriously, "I really like him."
The Empress Dowager responded in dismay, not knowing whether she could listen. Anyway, when Chu Xiangtian left, she was still in a state of dismay.
Then that night, the emperor held two pots of wine and touched his bedroom.
"A drink?"
No need to think about Chu Xiangtian, he knew that it must be the daytime incident that had been passed to him.
The two brothers sat on the roof of the palace, each with a pot of wine. Chu Fengyuan took a few sips in depressingly before patting his shoulder hard, "Those words... you don't have to care."
Chu Xiangtian pinched his eyebrows and said in distress, "What did the mother tell you?"
Chu Fengyuan said "yes", their brothers depended on each other since childhood. Although the mother is the main palace, they are not favored. In addition, the mother's family has withered and the emperor supports the imperial concubine lineage, so their mother and son have difficulty in the palace.
